WARNING
3
GB
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the system,
unplug the system and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not climb on the subwoofer, as you may fall down
and injure yourself, or system damage may result.
On power sources
• Before operating the system, check that the operating
voltage is identical to your local power supply. The
operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the
rear of the subwoofer.
• If you are not going to use the system for a long time,
be sure to disconnect the system from the wall outlet
(mains). To disconnect the AC power cord (mains
lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• AC power cord (mains lead) must be changed only at
the qualified service shop.
• The unit is not disconnected from the mains as long as
it is connected to the AC outlet, even if the unit itself
has been turned off.
On heat buildup
Although the system heats up during operation, this is
not a malfunction. If you continuously use this system
at a large volume, the system temperature of the back
and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning
yourself, do not touch the system.
On placement
Place the system in a location with adequate
ventilation to prevent heat buildup and prolong the
life of the system.
Do not place the system near heat sources, or in a
place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or
mechanical shock.
• Do not place anything at the rear of the subwoofer that
might block the ventilation holes and cause
malfunctions.
Do not cover the grill of the subwoofer.
• Do not place the system near equipment such as a TV,
VCR, or tape deck. (If the system is being used in
combination with a TV, VCR, or tape deck, and is
placed too close to that equipment, noise may result,
and picture quality may suffer. This is especially
likely when using an indoor antenna. Therefore, we
recommend using an outdoor antenna.)
• Use caution when placing the system on surfaces that
have been specially treated (with wax, oil, polish, etc.)
as staining or discoloration of the surface may result.
On operation
Before connecting other components, be sure to turn off
and unplug the system.
If you encounter color irregularity on
a nearby TV screen
Color irregularities may be observed on certain types of
TV sets.
If color irregularity is observed...
Turn off the TV set, then turn it on again after 15 to 30
minutes.
If color irregularity is observed
again...
Place the subwoofer or the speakers further away from
the TV set.
On cleaning
Clean the system with a soft dry cloth. Do not use any
type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such
as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any question or problem concerning your
system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Inserting batteries into the remote
You can control the system using the supplied remote. Insert two R6 (size AA) batteries by matching
the + and – ends on the batteries to the markings inside the compartment.
Do not leave the remote in an extremely hot or humid place.
• Do not use a new battery with an old one.
Do not drop any foreign object into the remote casing, particularly when replacing the batteries.
• Do not expose the remote sensor to direct light from the sun or lighting apparatus. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
• If you do not intend to use the remote for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage
from battery leakage and corrosion.

Getting Started
Install the subwoofer and speakers as shown in the illustration below.
Do not block the heat ventilation on the rear panel of the subwoofer.
Do not cover the grill of the subwoofer.
It is recommended to place the subwoofer on the front edge of a table or rack, etc., to accept the remote signal
correctly.
To use the speakers efficiently
Position the speakers so that the distance between each speaker and the listening position (A and B)
is the same (from 0.0 to 7.0 m).
Place both speakers the same distance apart as they are from the listening position (to form an isosceles triangle).
• The speakers should be placed at least 0.6 m apart.
Place the speakers forward of the TV. Make sure there are no reflecting obstacles in the way of the speakers.

Getting Started
To install the speakers on a flat surface
Before you install the speakers, be sure to attach the supplied foot pads to prevent vibration or
movement as shown in the illustration below.
You need to attach the supplied foot pads to both the right and left speakers.
To install the speakers on the speaker stand
For greater flexibility in positioning the speakers, use the optional WS-FV11 or WS-FV10D speaker
stand (available only in certain countries). For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with
the speaker stand.
To install the speakers on a wall
You can install your speakers on the wall.
1 Prepare screws (not supplied) that are suitable for the hole on the back of each speaker.
See the illustrations below.
2 Fasten the screws to the wall. The screws should protrude 5 to 7 mm.
3 Hang the speakers on the screws.

Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and strength. As a plaster board wall is especially fragile, attach
the screws securely to a beam and fasten them to the wall. Install the speakers on a vertical and flat wall where
reinforcement is applied.
• Contact a screw shop or installer regarding the wall material or screws to be used.

Notes on HDMI connections
Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If you use a Standard HDMI cable, 1080p images may not be
displayed properly.
Sony recommends that you use an HDMI-authorized cable or Sony HDMI cable.
Check the setup of the connected component if an image is poor or the sound does not come out of a
component connected via the HDMI cable.
Audio signals (sampling frequency, bit length, etc.) transmitted from an HDMI jack may be
suppressed by the connected component.
Sound may be interrupted when the number of channels or sampling frequency of audio output
signals from the playback component is changed.
When the connected component is not compatible with copyright protection technology (HDCP), the
image and/or the sound from the HDMI TV OUT jack may be distorted or may not be output.
In this case, check the specification of the connected component.
We do not recommend using an HDMI-DVI conversion cable.
When TV, DIGITAL 1, DIGITAL 2, FM, AM, or DMPORT is selected, the video signal that was
selected last time is output.
This system supports “x.v.Colour (x.v.Color)” transmission, extended by HDMI ver1.3.
